My name is Richard. I've been with NERO Las Vegas for almost since the beginning. I was looking to see if there are other LARP groups in Vegas and found yours. I've never heard of Dagorhir, But it seems to be based on the European Larping "one-hit" style am I wrong?
So what do I need to get started? I take it I don't have to be in full armor like live steel or SCA do I? Who runs the chapter? Is there a fee? Where are events held? How often do you hold fighter practices?
Has everyone loved the rain we've been having these last few days?
*EDIT* Correction I've kinda heard of Dagorhir. Just didn't know what it was called.

hey there Richard i'm akeria AKA kitty glad to have you around! you will like it these guys are pretty amazing but i think i can answere some of your questions.
to get started i believe you need a waver and a sword ask around to any of the people here i'm sure if you look on the forum alittle it will give you advice on how to make one and if you ever come to a practice that would be the perfect time to ask then as well.
Surt ( King ) Kilanos ( Shepherd ) Smithy ( trainer? i don't how to call it )
i believe are the head honchos of this realm talk to them often get as much information from them as you can. i'm not sure if theres a fee i don't think i've payed one but then again my boyfriend is the one that handles money but i don't think there is the only fee that i know of is that it costs 1$ for water at practices. so if you do decide to come to a practice bring your own water or bring some cash it helps the whole realm out. but it's not mandatory. you don't have to buy the water. events are held all over the states. last weekend we went to utah i think there's a boarder war going on soon in either california or st george. and we have practices every Saturday at noon and Tuesdays at 6:00 PM. we're at Desert Breeze Park
i have been enjoying the weather how about you?! and welcome to Barad Dun like i said try it out it's pretty fun you'll meet some fabulous people! and again WELCOME!

Welcome aboard Trenton, come out to Realm practice on Saturday at noon and see what we are all about. The difference between NERO and our Group is that we are a full contact medieval fighting organization. We use quality boffers to kill eachother with, no magic. We have characters represented by our fighting names but RP ends when we hit the field and start fighting.
As our illustrious Elf, Akeria, has already said, we practice at Desert Breeze park on the corner of Twain and Durango. Turn into the first parking lot, we are usually on the Western end.
What is Dagorhir? Check out these Youtubes. See you at practice Trenton.

Hello fellow Nero-er! I used to play a couple years ago. I'm Viktor the Scholar.
All you need to get started is to come out to practice. When you come out I'll have a waiver you need to sign. I will also give you a rule packet that will answer alot of this. Armor isnt required. Our realm is ran by a Tribunal. The 3 people involved are Surt , Kilanos , and Smithy. I also am a point of contact as Royal Scribe (Head Paperpusher). Dagorhir Nationally is a free to play game. Some chapters around the country provide services so there are some with a fee, but not ours. The only thing we strongly require is Water. If you dont want to bring yours, we require a $1 donation which will help pay for water for the day. If you bring your own you need not worry. We have a couple different types of gatherings, practices are weekly with the realm practice on Saturday's @ noon. Events are held around the country and all throughout the year. They usually involve travel and camping.
And yes, the rain has been awesome.
